Inspiring the Next Generation of Machinists with Tiger Manufacturing
A.R.E. Manufacturing has always believed in investing in the future, whether it’s purchasing advanced equipment to drive long-term customer success or facilitating proactive training to avoid hiring gaps. One of the most effective and impactful ways we’ve invested in the future of manufacturing is through our community involvement, particularly our participation in the Tiger Manufacturing program at Newberg High School. By focusing on the education and professional development of our local youth, we’re building the next generation of skilled machinists.
How Our Team Achieves High-Quality Precision Machined Parts
The Benefits of Producing Precision Machined Parts to Takt Time
Efficiency, responsiveness, and quality are non-negotiables in our precision machining operations. Traditional batch production methods often lead to overproduction, excess inventory, and longer lead times. To address these issues, A.R.E. Manufacturing has adopted Lean manufacturing principles including takt time production.
Why We Recommend Customers Use ATP-5 Aluminum Tooling Plate
There are a variety of different aluminum tooling plates, and each of them has different benefits. But over the past several years at A.R.E. Manufacturing, we’ve started to prefer ATP-5 as a material. In fact, we recommend it to customers who send us plans that initially request a different type of material. And once we explain why we’re making that recommendation, many of them permanently switch their parts to ATP-5.
How A.R.E. Manufacturing’s ProShop ERP Enhances Customer Satisfaction
At A.R.E. Manufacturing, we’re committed to producing high-quality components and surpassing customer expectations every time. Our utilization of ProShop ERP plays a pivotal role in achieving this goal. Since implementing this technology in 2019, we’ve noticed a significant difference in our part quality, lead times, and internal organization. Let’s explore how our integration of ProShop ERP has transformed our operations and benefited our valued customers.
Building Careers and Delivering Excellence with A.R.E.’s Training Program
At A.R.E. Manufacturing, we believe in building careers, not just offering jobs. Our rigorous training program epitomizes this mentality. We don’t want our people to simply act as button pushers and material handlers. We encourage our people to learn the ins and outs of each stage of precision machining and gain expertise at various levels.
